Ah, thanks, I overlooked that

It's weird how with some arrests, people seem to get over-charged. Like the police seem to tack on every charge that might stick. Meanwhile, these people were clearly under-charged. Just felony eluding and reckless driving. There should have been a string of charges related to piloting vehicles that aren't road-worthy. No headlights, no taillights, non-DOT approved tires, etc, etc. No insurance. No license plate.

You'll get better answers if you post this in a VW subreddit instead of the Richmond one. https://www.reddit.com/r/vwgolf/

I once thought I needed a new transmission because there was an awful clanking coming from it at certain speeds. I took it to Weaver Transmission and told them I thought the transmission needed to be rebuilt. The next day they called to say it was just a chassis brace under the car missing a bolt, causing it to rattle at certain speeds.

They charged me like $50 to tighten it when I was fully prepared to pay them thousands to rebuild the transmission. So I'd trust them for transmission work even though I've never actually needed them to do any for me.

They're punishing you for not calling it Boulevard

Damnit, no picture? We really needed that

Yesterday I drove down Chamberlayne from I-295 to Laburnum with the top down in my convertible but didn't notice anything unusual.

Yeah, despite my username, it's pretty rare you need a lift, it's just more convenient to have one. But, if OP has no good place to work on his car or store a floor jack and jack stands, just paying to go use a lift might be the best solution. But unfortunately I don't know of any such place around here either.

I just ordered a Bendpak a few weeks ago, but it won't be here for another six weeks, otherwise I'd offer to let OP use mine :)

Oh cool, thanks, if I do end up deciding to get it fixed, that's a great lead on the place to have it done. Never heard of them before now.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Waze was the easiest, and I just got back from checking with it and it reads about 4mph high at speeds from 40mph to 70mph.

I confirmed the tires are the OE size so I'm not sure what's going on, but I think I'll be fine just compensating for it in my head.

Haha, shit, I went to the airport just two weeks ago and passed one of those on the way in, but totally forgot it until I read your post. ty

Oh yeah, good idea!

I don't have experience with it myself so I can't say for sure, but I think volunteering at Habitat for Humanity would help you learn some of these skills.

"Think of the tax revenues!"

Judgements on city quality from someone who's chosen to live in NYC? What's next, restaurant reviews from a dog who eats his own vomit?

I doubt anywhere will take them, but you could just drive around looking for people with signs and offer them some. My friends and I used to do that with leftovers after eating at restaurants.

I'm sure someone (who isn't starving) will lecture you about sanitation, though.

Perhaps, but reporters report facts, not present assumptions as facts

Not necessarily. It's clear that he was formerly a VA state cop, but the article says they couldn't get an answer from the Washington County sheriff’s office on what his role was there. With a step down like that, I wouldn't automatically assume he'd been able to continue being a cop at his new job.

That's so weird

TIL there's actually someone still paying attention to COVID numbers

My guess is that it's the work of u/AAAPosts

You don't have to justify it to them, but if you feel the need to, you can always just tell them you have a friend who's going to fix it for free.
